Short-term Program Coordinator (Consultant)
Support the Implementation of the Work Plan of the ASEAN Plan of Action to Prevent and Counter the Rise of Radicalization and Violent Extremism (Bali Work Plan) 2018-2025
DAI is seeking a part-time Project Coordinator (consultant) to provide administrative support for the USAID-funded ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT project focused on helping ASEAN achieve its goal of building a more inclusive, rules-based, and prosperous Southeast Asia.
Background
The five-year ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT program (August 2018 – August 2023) supports ASEAN’s goal to build a more inclusive and prosperous Southeast Asia. Through provision of technical expertise, PROSPECT provides institutional strengthening and support to increase ASEAN’s capacity to better resolve regional and global challenges and advance an effective, rules-based architecture for cooperation among governments in the region to uphold human dignity and the rule of law.
Purpose
The Bali Work Plan to Prevent and Counter the Rise of Radicalization and Violent Extremism was adopted by ASEAN in November 2019. Following this landmark achievement, the Senior Officials Meeting on Transnational Crime (SOMTC) Working Group on Counterterrorism (WG-CT) chaired by Indonesia’s Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme, or BNPT, formed a Multi-Sectoral Task Force (MTF) and held the first Partners Meeting in Bali. As intended, the meeting successfully forged partnerships and support for regional cooperation on the implementation of the Bali Work Plan.
During the recent 2nd MTF and ASEAN Partners Meetings held in Bali August 25th, 2022 these commitments were reinforced; partners reported on their implementation efforts to date. Further coordination efforts and a renewed commitment to implementing activities under the Bali Work Plan is expected prior to the convening of the 3rd MTF and Partners Meetings tentatively scheduled for June 6th – 8th, 2023 in Bali.
